Boy bands continue to attract a certain universal appeal regardless of location and genre. The veteran South Korean boy group Super Junior bears testament to this. Formed on November 6, 2005, by producer Lee Soo Man of SM Entertainment, the Super Junior members have won thirteen Mnet Asian Music Awards, nineteen Golden Disc Awards and the 2008 MTV Asia Awards for Favorite Artist Korea.
This huge stride was further amplified with the release of their massively successful 2009 album and single of the same name Sorry, Sorry.
